Absolutely! And that’s why I won’t give up hope.

American citizens are inundated with propaganda. In fact, we always have been. The voters are given plenty of involuntary help to make sure they make the right decision.

Don’t get me wrong, the willful ignorance is infuriating. But focusing on that won’t do anything much to address the root issues, I’m afraid.

Edit: changed a word

This country has never been the place we were taught to believe it was. I think we started to come close to reshaping it into that image, though; this offended the parasitic ultra wealthy sociopaths, so they put Trump in power to remind us of “our proper place”.

In a county that received federal funds to construct warning systems, but refused to do so. In fact, as I recall they ended up taking the money and allocating it to the police budget instead.

No, but your reply suggests that you might be a bigot.

Ugh. I hate that I’m not seeing any major problems with your logic here. I mean, obviously we’ll never know for sure …but fucking eh, man.

I couldn’t resist the rakk build for my FL4K - and that particular action skill was crazy for triggering anointments. Only ever maxed his level though. Got close with Zane (he stays slow, but gets pretty overpowered by the end - but only if you avoided the bugged out non-functional skills). Next highest level I got was on Amara. I loved Moze’s power armor, by that’s the char my girlfriend mained, so I never got mine leveled very far.

No

I meant what I said, to and frankly can do without the insulting tone.

The gameplay was much improved; the writing was…not good.

But I played the hell out of 3 anyway, so…

Eh, Trump is absolute bottom of my list. Even if it’s by a barely measurable amount, I trust everyone more than Trump. No exceptions.

Well, not exactly.

The entire purpose of patriotism is the tribalism; honestly, I didn’t believe a government exists that doesn’t encourage “us vs them” thinking. Now, that’s not to say all nations are xenophobic; but just because it’s not taken to the extreme does not mean it doesn’t exist.

At the end of the day this is all part and parcel of the millennia old class war that has fucked up nearly every society on this planet in one way or another.

I find it doubtful they’ll successfully enforce this in court. But you never know.

The fact that this patent was issued is further proof our “intellectual property” laws and such are fucking broken to all hell, in any case.

I am inclined to agree.

But I bet they’d try to sell the lie anyway.

Hmm, I know the movie. But I must disagree with the comparison.

The movie “Dave” is definitely worth watching, though!

I also highly recommend “Wag the Dog”, starring Dustin Hoffman and Robert de Niro.

Ummm…that’s kinda the point, isn’t it?

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I feel like we should’ve seen this coming; if/when he kicks the bucket, they’re gonna use AI to keep the cult of personality going for as long as they can.

It’s not about actual cost; it’s about menu price. The markup on fountain drinks is insane.
